Crap.... Engine woes (long, but help me please)

Well, I tought myself how to swap coils :)

I moved bad coil (#6) and swapped with good coil (#5) and got spark on #6! I figured I had my problem now! Bad coil!

But alas, I ALSO got spark on #5 (presumed bad coil) looked to be a weak spark (hard to tell in the daylight) but a spark none-the-less.

Was going to swap other bad coil, but ran out of time. Could it have been just aloose/bad connection? I guess I'll find out for sure if #3 is bad, I'll just replace both of them.
 
Damn it.

Might be dealership time.

Swapped bad coil #3 to #1 and bad coil in #5 to #4.

Got good spark in both #1 and #4 but still no spark in #3 and #6. I even sanded down all my grounds to ensure a good connection.

I would think if it were the stator, I would have weak/no spark to ALL cylinders?

I was really hoping to fix this one by myself.
 
If you have two switch boxes that I would find the cylinders that have weak spark and then see if they all go to one of the boxes. If so then maybe that box is bad.

There are ohm tests you can do to the coils to show if they are ok. But you need a multimeter to do so.
